The idea of drinking only on special occasions
I find this is a common idea for many starting out, myself included. But the fact that it is a holiday or birthday or vacation or any other special occasion is even more reason to stay sober. I have wasted away so many special events being, well… wasted. I look forward to really being present and enjoying the upcoming holiday season as well as my vacation at the end of this year. I know I missed out on so many memories that could have been, should have been cherished because I was drunk. Not this year, I will enjoy them, share in them and remember them for years to come. I hope you will too.
